Swedish developer Gaming Corps AB has signed an agreement with operator Interwetten for the distribution of casino slots via aggregator. Interwetten is a pioneer of the iGaming industry, focused on German-speaking markets.

Gaming Corps has partnered with operator Interwetten, a pioneer in the iGaming industry founded in 1990. In 1997, Interwetten was the second operator in the world to go online and in 2004 they started their online casino business. Interwetten has several licenses internationally and a strong position in German-speaking countries. Gaming Corps, a publicly listed Swedish developer in Gaming and iGaming, will provide Interwetten with casino slots, distributed via aggregator.

“I am happy to present this new agreement today, having had great experience working with Interwetten in the past. It will be a positive partnership for both parties I am sure. Interwetten has a dominant position in the German-speaking markets, as well as a loyal following in many other markets too, and that will have an effect on the distribution volume of Gaming Corps’ products. My colleagues and I look forward to what we believe will be a successful partnership for the long term.” says Mats Lundin, Chief Commercial Officer, Gaming Corps.

“We are excited to engage another developer and add more content to the Interwetten game portfolio. Gaming Corps is a young, ambitious company with the drive to grow, and that fits our strategy as we continue the geographic expansion of Interwetten. I am excited to see this partnership evolve over the coming years and bid Gaming Corps welcome!” says Mario Bilic, Head of Product Management, Content and CRM at Interwetten.
